Abstract
Working with BRC colleagues on a local public consultation to explore acceptance of a possible CHIM (Controlled Human Infection Model) as part of the effort to fast-track to a vaccine for Covid-19. Seven online focus groups were held with 57 young people aged between 20-40 years. The resultant paper was published in BMC Medicine thus informing others who might be interested in running a CHIM as to the views of the population likely to be recruited to such a trial.
